TGP: The Renowned General (II)

"I finally found you, my dearest concubine."

Li Amm awakened from her drooling when she heard those words.

'Eh...concubine? Did this god-eh I mean man- mistaken me for someone?'

"Pardon? You probably kidnapped the wrong person. I'm not someone's concubine."Li Amm said.

Her parents did not display her outside from what she knew, so no one knew her beautiful existence inside the De manor. The public only knew that there was a daughter there. The only time that other people aside from the De residence people saw her was when she was a baby. And every time the officials from the palace asked her father about her, her father scurried them off. Telling that his daughter was off-limit and not ready to married.

'It's good I'm not a normal girl in this era...if I am, I might have thrown a tantrum to them for not allowing me to follow the trend.'

The trend in this era was marriage at an early age.

"Ha ha ha." A crisp, deep, melodious tone sounded from the man. Li Amm could not help but be dazed again to his laughing figure. The corner of the young man's eyes was turned upward, making him younger and delicious...

'whaa...I mean younger and beautiful...'

His sexy lips were parted, producing a seducing sound (A/N: don't be green, that's a laugh), making his dimples on both sides appear. The young man was truly enchanting.

Li Am felt like her hormones were raging inside of her.

'Probably because it's been too long since I tasted men...yeah...my old age probably ....'

She looked at the fine young man, the living aphrodisiac.

'He will be in danger if he continues to stand in front of me...'

So she stepped forward, get his cloth mask, and covered it to his face.

The man stopped chuckling.

"Wha--"

"Better be safe than sorry!" Li Am shouted. This man..his chastity was in danger! It was good she did not take advantage of the young.

"Young man, you should cover your face more. To not let others sin against you-" she advised to the beautiful man. Many people might take advantage of him. Not that she cared, she was just advising.

"Can I go now?" Then she started walking away from him. But the young man was fast and hold her arm.

"Not so fast, little lady. Have you forgotten about me?"

Liam almost lost balance when the young man stopped her. She arranged herself and look at the man who now had a cover cloth on his face. With this, she could talk clearly with him without ogling at his seductive lips.

But she was still confused. With this deity-like appearance, Li Amm would surely remember him, but she did not.

"I'm sorry. I haven't met you."

The young man looked at Li Amm intensely. In his mind, he was contemplating. He was sure this girl was the little girl years ago. He had been looking for her for so long.

"Remember nine years ago, with orchids and lilies ? " he tried to hint at her.

Liam carefully thought of it.

Orchids? Lilies? In her courtyard?

Still, she did not remember the man.

"I'm sorry, I still don't remember you. "

The young man was arguing to himself right now.

'Should I tell her? I have wanted to meet her...'

"The boy....the boy...that was c-crying..." He said it. Oh my, he said the word crying. He actually didn't want to mention it to the girl. He, as a child crying was still a massive blow for him now with his status and achievements.

But with this, Li Amm remembered the child.

"Oh! You're the one I bullied! How come you've grown so tall!"

Another blow was hit to the young man's pride. He did not want to remember that day.

"Y-your right. I am that child. Do you remember I promised you that I will make you my concubine?"

Then it struck Li Amm.

Oh no! She remembered clearly when the child said she would CRY to her every day. Remembering the snot, mucus, and tears, she did not want to live that kind of life. Besides, she had a mission! She needed to fulfill those things before she died. So another problem would not be good!

She looked at the man. She looked at his forehead. Because even the man covered his face, it did not hide his mesmerizing eyes. It might cause her to waver her decision to reject this young man.

"Oh, I remember. But I am someone's wangfei. I'm off-limits." Li Amm decided to lie. It's a good lie to entirely reject this young man.

The young man narrowed his eyes. After that day, followed by his mother's execution, he went every day to that place, waiting for the dirty young girl to appear. He finds comfort from the girl. He wanted to seek comfort and someone to talk to at that time. And the little girl was the only person he could show his vulnerable state to. When he was thirteen, and about to leave for the army to train himself, he hired someone to look for that girl. Dirty, with the age of ten, and ask her what she felt about orchids and lilies. If she answered rightly, he would come for her. But no one answered correctly. Now he had seen her, he would not let her run away. He did not know why, but he felt that the existence of the girl was vital. Maybe because she knew his weakness?

Now that the girl he had been looking for so long had suddenly had a husband. He did not expect it. Because the girl seemed so dirty that he was sure no one would take an interest in her. But thinking carefully of it, it was possible, the girl was already past the marriage age. She might have been telling the truth. Still...

He tightened his grip on her arm.

"Who is he? Tell me where he is." He said while his other hand was gripping at the scabbard of the sword in his hips.

If he needed to use force, then he would have to! No one would take what he set his eyes on!

Seeing the grip on her arm and on his sword, Li Amm was a bit shocked.

'Don't tell me..he will force his way in! It's good I don't have a husband if I will, he will be really pitiful...but...if I don't have a husband, what will he do to me? Appointed me as his concubine? Never in my life, I wish to be a concubine!'

Liam was afraid that it would result in regret.

"Young man. I don't think you have to do that. You know, my husband and I have a really peaceful and happy life. We have two lovely children, and in fact, I'm pregnant right now! O-one month! You should give up and move one..."

The man's eyes narrowed dangerously. Chills came out from his body.

'Bastard! Who dared touched my concubine! I'll kill him!'

His grip on his swords tightened more. Veins bulged in his hands. He really needed to kill someone right now!

Being a veteran in the war made him solve everything through fighting.

"Where's that bastard?!"

'Eeeehhh? Why he's angry? You should give up, idiot!'

"He-he's really busy-" she did not manage to finish what she's saying because the man suddenly carried her like a sack again.

The man was really fast, even without his horse he flew in every tree until they came to a town.

When they came to the entrance, he brought down the girl and asked her.

"Where is your home?"

Li Amm wanted to vomit. The flying made her dizzy!

She clung in the man's robes.

"T-there--" she pointed randomly.

'Waaaa...what should I do...I don't want to be a concubine...'

The young man mistakenly thought that she pointed at the small house, three houses away from them. He carried the girl again and barged into the house in full force.

Bang!

Inside the house, three people stopped eating and looked at the intruder.

At the table, a man in his late twenties was feeding his child. His child looked one year old. Beside him, his other child, who looked like two years old, was also eating with his hands. The three of them stared blankly at the young man and the girl on the intruder's shoulder.

The young man put Liam down. He looked at the three at the table. He glared at the man first and then at the two-child.

"Peaceful and happy... I have two children...and I'm pregnant right now! "

He remembered Li Amm's words. He gritted his teeth. Then he unleashed his sword and turned to Li Amm.

"Is he 'that' man?!"

Li Amm was still busying herself to not vomit. Two consecutive flyings made her dizzy! But when she heard the young man's question, she stopped what she's doing and turned to look at them. She saw a man and two children. Then she looked at the young man's pointy sharp sword.

'Oh, Shit. I'm doomed.'

The man at the table saw the blade of the sword. He quickly left his food and kowtowed to the man in black.

"Sir, please pardon this humbled servant's life. This servant doesn't know how he offended such a great master like you. Please spare my life." He continuously kowtowed while slamming his forehead to the floor, making it bruise.

The young man squinted his eyes at the man.

"You touched, you shouldn't touch. Now face my wrath!"

"Sir! I have two children. They don't have a mother. Their mother died at the young one's birth. If I died, no one would take care of them!" The man cried.

"I will take care of them. Your wife-" Ehh? What did he say?

"Your wife died at your son's birth?"

"E-en. It was only a year ago."

"Did you not take another wife?"

"How could I do that! I did not! Taking another wife is an additional mouth to feed."

"Then how about this lady-" he pointed at the direction of Li Amm when he found none of her shadows. He looked outside and saw the fleeing figure of Li Amm.

This girl! How dare she lied to him!

Without giving another glance to the man who was still kowtowing, he ran after Li Amm.
